Installation:
On conventional, initiating circuits or when using an addressing module, one set of contacts is
installed across the circuit such that operation of the detector will create a short circuit condition,
required in order to activate the fire alarm control panel (FACP), or addressing module.
The second Normally Open set of contacts can be used to activate a local ancillary device.
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the local Electrical Code using approved cable,
AWG 18 minimum. Begin electrical connections by stripping approximately 1” (2.5 cm.) from
the end of each wire. Insert the stripped end into the wire-retaining hole in the terminal bar,
wrap clockwise around the terminal screw, and tighten. Circuit wiring must be broken at each
terminal to ensure proper supervision.
For use with Addressable/Analogue FACP’s, the detector is connected to the appropriate Data
Communication Link (DCL) by means of an addressing module, in accordance with the panel
manufacturer’s instructions.
Contact Electrical Rating:
3A @ 125 VAC, 1A @ 28 VDC, 0.3A @ 125 VDC, 0.1 A @ 250 VDC
Testing:
Testing the “CR” series detector, i.e. testing the Rate-of-Rise portion, is accomplished by
applying heat from a controlled heat source, such as a hair blow dryer, held 8-12 inches away
and aimed at the detector. The detector will respond within 6-10 seconds.
Portable test units designed specifically for this purpose are acceptable, and must bear a UL
listing mark.
Care must be taken to not allow the heat source to reach the device’s fusing temperature. If the
detector’s fusing temperature is reached and the plunger is released, the detector will be in
permanent alarm and must be replaced.
Devices using open flame are prohibited from testing heat detectors.
Testing the “CF” series detector, i.e. the Fixed Temperature Only, cannot be accomplished by
warming the unit as permanent contact closure may result, requiring replacement of the
detector. Shorting across the terminals will prove the circuit function and Zone identification.
